USA Today Highlights Columbus’ Economic Resilience
A great article about Columbus’ diverse economy:
Diverse economy helped Columbus, Ohio, in downturn
By Christine Dugas, USA TODAYColumbus is well known as Ohio’s capital and home to one of the nation’s largest universities, Ohio State University. But fewer realize that it has a diversified regional economy.
That helped it avoid many of the economic aftershocks that came after the housing bubble. “I don’t think anybody steered clear of it,” says Sue Lusk-Gleich, president of the Columbus Board of Realtors. “But Columbus did reasonably well.”
We have something to be proud of! The question is in what other areas would you like to see Columbus spur development?

Exactly Walker, I like this part of the article most: “The Arena District in downtown Columbus has been transformed in recent years. It is a vibrant area that attracts people of all ages.
It is close to a riverfront park that is under construction. It has a new stadium for the Columbus Clippers, a minor league baseball team, and an arena for the Columbus Blue Jackets, Ohio’s only National Hockey League team.”
Sounds fun huh? I drove by the soon to be built promenades along the Bicentennial Park and they look great. It’ll really make our Civic area look unified. I wish they had highlighted Gay street though.
